ResponderEliminarFelicité was a lucky lady having two beautiful roses named after her. And the Furcraea - is this the same Parmentier?
Well, I couldn't find anything about the origin of the name except that it came from the basionym Yucca parmentieri (1859) before becoming Furcraea parmentieri. I suspect that it comes from the adjective parmentier, that means with potatos after A. A. Parmentier (1737–1813), French promoter of economic botany, mainly the use of potatoes. In fact to be in honor of someone called Parmentier it should be F. parmentierii. Probably the potatoes are the bulbils. But that part you know best. This year I seen very little ones make proportional inflorescences. And Monserrate was the biggest, with the biggest inflorescence. So how big will the one in Madeira be?
